Only 2 Black women currently run Fortune 500 companies. 

I felt genuinely excited seeing Latriece Watkins named President and CEO of Sam’s Club because moments like this still feel… rare.

Right now, women lead about 11 percent of Fortune 500 companies, and only 2 of those women are Black.

It means we still have a long way to go. 

I know someone will read this and comment, “The most qualified person gets the job,” but if meritocracy actually worked, the C-suite would be far more diverse than it is today.

Latriece worked her way up inside Walmart over decades, which is the part people should pay close attention to.

We are often told to stay loyal, build credibility, and wait our turn, yet many women of color stall at the director or senior director level.

A few years ago, when Nike appointed a CEO after 32 years inside the company, I remember thinking that same result for women and women of color. 

So when someone does reach the highest seat after building REAL enterprise experience, it feels like a crack in a very rigid ceiling.

Sidebar: This is not about entrepreneurship, so feel free to skip this if corporate leadership is not your lane.

As an executive coach who works with women preparing for VP and C-suite roles, this is sooooo reassuring to see.

Keep climbing 🫡

Greetings! I'm truly ecstatic to connect with you. Let me share a glimpse of my journey.

Battling generalized anxiety from a young age, which later evolved into social anxiety, has been a significant part of my mental health voyage. Overcoming work-induced burnout, grappling with the emotional impact of infertility, and navigating through the enduring effects of early-life trauma have all been part of this tumultuous journey. Seeking professional help through counseling has been instrumental in propelling me forward. Drawing from various therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness has not only aided my own progress but has also enhanced my ability to support my clients.

In my role as your coach, I will serve as your personal navigator in overcoming challenges like anxiety, depression, and feelings of being adrift. These struggles often have a profound impact on the most important relationships in our lives, so I will stand by your side as we work on enhancing your communication skills and overall well-being. You can rest assured that I will create a safe and inviting space for you to explore your deepest questions and find the healing you seek. This journey will propel you forward in all aspects of your life, bolstering your confidence and self-worth along the way. With the tools and techniques we'll delve into, you will be well on your way to achieving success.

The individuals I've worked with have successfully learned to establish healthy boundaries, return to work after extended stress leave due to anxiety and depression, cultivate self-love, and improve their self-image. If you seek assurance, fulfillment, and purpose, I'm here to assist you in reaching those aspirations. Feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn DM or email at jacquie@calmshorescounselling.com or jacquie@relationshipcoach.ca.

I'm eagerly looking forward to embarking on this journey with you!
